Honest Dental Care, Rooted in Decatur Since 2003
Decatur Dental Care Care has been part of this community since 2003, when Dr. Kelly J. Clark joined the practice as an associate under longtime Decatur dentist Randy Van Alstine. What began as a small office on North Street has since grown into a full-service dental practice trusted by families throughout Decatur, Mt. Zion, Forsyth, and Warrensburg, IL. In 2009, the practice moved to a larger facility and became Decatur Dental Care, giving us the space and technology to serve more patients without losing the personal, small-town feel that our patients value most.
Today, our practice includes two experienced, local dentists and a team of dental professionals who genuinely care about the people they treat. Many of our patients have been with us for years, and many more come to us through referrals from friends and family, which is something we do not take for granted.
Our Philosophy
We practice what we call golden rule dentistry: treating every patient the way we would want to be treated. That means honest, upfront conversations about your treatment options and costs before any work begins, never recommending procedures you do not need, and taking the time to make sure you understand your care every step of the way.
Prevention is at the heart of our approach. Regular checkups, cleanings, and early detection of problems help our patients avoid more costly and invasive treatment down the road. We combine that preventive focus with modern, affordable treatment options, so quality dental care stays within reach for every family in our community.
